2019 Draft Discussion

Was really hoping that Pitts draft pick was going to be better. Start of the seaon it looked that way, but a nice comeback from Murray ruined thise chances.

My team was way under performing... not just Murray. Offense really improved second half of the year.

I stopped looking once Murray regained his form. Happy for your team though - I was never expecting a top pick in our trade. It would have been nice though haha.

I'm actually looking forward to the draft this year...I have 9 picks, including 2 FIRST ROUNDERS

[Matthew]

Has anyone bought tickets for an entry draft before?

[thom54]

kinda pumped to see Shane Wright go to Kingston (where i live) - i'll be able to watch him live !

[Lee]

My 2nd was stolen by the patriarchy

[dave1959]

...and your 5th

[thom54]

and it could have been a first

[Da_Hawks]

Can't wait to see what kind of haul the 1st overall pick goes for this year.

I'm not trading it

I was going to say...it depends on who gets it.

I give Kyle full credit for sticking with his pick last year and taking Dahlin. But I wouldn't have blamed him if he traded the pick for a bunch of stuff. You either play it patiently and make your picks each year or you cash in a high pick or two for a big return and hope your return can help you ascend.

Damn I was gonna over some young studs since I got so many for him

[Matthew]

The 1st overall pick is all mine you microphallused vultures.

[Da_Hawks]

If I get 1st overall, I am certainly trading it for the biggest haul I can get.

How good is hughes? Is he more mcdavid/matthews level or hischiergekblad level?

I've liked the Patrick Kane, Marner comparisons. I think the only complaint about Hughes is whether he'll be a C or W moving forward. Not that it matters as those two have shown that they can change the game from the wing.

[Shoalzie]

Kane and Marner are good comps...even throw in Gaudreau as well. In terms of the smaller centers...Domi and Point are the leading scorers right now among centers 5' 10" and under. Throw in Marchand, DeBrincat and Atkinson...lots of good offensive players that are even shorter than Hughes.

[Matthew]

Let's name every good player under 5'11" as a comparable...lol.
